Child burial fees axed by the Government

Child burial fees are to be axed following a campaign by an MP who was forced to take out a loan to bury her eight-year-old son. Carolyn Harris, MP for Swansea East, lost her son Martin in a car accident in 1989 and the cost of burying him prompted her to campaign for the Government to help grieving parents.As a result, the Government has announced a Children's Funeral Fund which will pay for the costs of children's burials and cremations in England, which can exceed £3,000.

Eve Farrelly, manager of the child accompaniment support service for Children at Risk in Ireland, told how the young witness who had “asked to bring his teddy bear in” to the room, was told to “leave the teddy bear out of sight of the screen” as the defence legal team had argued it could have been used to “highlight the child’s vulnerability.”

“In the end it was decided he had enough on his plate without managing where the teddy bear was placed, so it didn’t go in,” Ms Farrelly said.

Ms Farrelly said lengthy delays within the court system were adding to the “trauma” suffered by child abuse victims.

She said only six out of 36 recent cases had started on the date they were set for. This had caused issues for families taking time off school and work and added to their emotional turmoil.

Ms Farrelly said one nine-year-old child who had been abused had waited two years for his case to be heard. The defendant was ultimately found guilty.

A girl also waited two years for a case to be completed. By the time she gave her evidence she was 19. Because she was no longer a minor, she was unable to give evidence by video link and had to sit close to the alleged offender, who was in the end found not guilty, Ms Farrelly said.

Maeve Lewis, chief executive of child abuse charity One in Four, told the conference 11 of 31 cases the charity supported complainants with, had resulted in not guilty verdicts.

She said last year the charity had assisted 31 sexual abuse complainants through the criminal justice system.

Some cases are still proceeding through court but 11 so far have ended with not guilty verdicts, while eight resulted in convictions and three resulted in guilty pleas.
